I smoke cigars like they're cigarettes
drink whiskey like it's wine
drink wine like it's water
I'll love your women like she's mine
You can ask that gypsy lady
just who that devil be
but I'll tell you everyone's afraid of the devil
The devil's only 'fraid of me
Everywhere I go
The people say in hushed tones
the plague is sho nuff walkin
everywhere that man roam
I'll get up early one mornin
with the old stars shinin down
look out over your dyin' light
burn this city to the ground
You can ask them shattered people
just who that devil be
but I'll tell you everyone's afraid of the devil
The devil's only 'fraid of me
Everywhere I go
The people say in hushed tones
the plague is sho nuff walkin
everywhere that man roam
they say Jesus walked on water
and Moses split the sea
but aint no lord gonna save you now
since you met the likes of me
you can ask that old man preacher
just who that devil be
but I'll tell you everyone's afraid of the devil
the devil's only 'fraid of me
Everywhere I go
The people say in hushed tones
the plague is sho nuff walkin
everywhere that man roam
Everywhere I go
the people say in hushed tones
the plague is sho nuff walkin
everywhere that man roam

He took the left hand path and he wandered in the desert
wandered in a circle 'til he died.
She took the right hand path and she wandered in the desert
wandered in a circle 'til she died.
But if you know where to go and you walk with a purpose
you might get out of here alive.
He took the left hand path and he wandered in the desert
wandered in a cicle 'til he died.
Humbaba Humbaba
Humbaba Humbaba
Humbaba Humbaba
Humbaba Humbaba
We're dying with notion that this land was once an ocean
sharks swam where now there's only bones
and how we ever got here, not one man can tell
but no matter who you're with you walk alone
the buzzards circle overhead, will they wait until we're dead?
At least the worms are patient, wait like stones.
This land was once a sea and in the sea we're free
but in this desert not one soul is home.
Humbaba Humbaba

Humbaba Humbaba

Humbaba Humbaba
The searchers wander on, without story without song
just a hope that this wasteland has an end.
There are visions of a city, there is talk of endless water.
But it's all clouds and illusions my dear friend.
Many walk towards the visions, think they walk with precision
just to end up back where they began.
This land was once a sea and in the sea we're free
but no man needs nothing in the end.

Whale Milk

If you want to get as big as a whale you must drink whale milk
If you want to get as big as a whale you must drink whale milk
If you get your milk from a cow you are drinking failed milk
If you get your milk from a goat you are drinking failed milk
Whale milk! Getting larger by the hour
Whale milk! Embrace the power
Whale milk! Getter larger every day
Whale milk! Like the good book say
If you find yourself in the belly of the whale
get down and pray like the good book say
First help yourself to a little bit of milk
It goes down easy, It's smooth as silk
If you get as big as a whale you will not fit inside
Just a shame the other whale must die
Whale milk! Getting larger by the hour
Whale milk! Embrace the power
Whale milk! Getter larger every day
Whale milk! Like the good book say
If you find yourself in the belly of the whale
How do you get to the whale milk?
If you find yourself in the belly of the whale
How do you get to the whale milk?
Tunnel your way to the mammary glands
How you get to the whale milk
Tunnel your way to the mammary glands
How you get to the whale milk
Tunnel you way to the mammary glands
You don't have a shovel so you tunnel with your hands
You've got to crawl there's no room to stand
When you tunnel your way
If you find yourself in the belly of the whale
get down and pray like the good book say
First help yourself to a little bit of milk
It goes down easy, It's smooth as silk
Whale milk! Getting larger by the hour
Whale milk! Embrace the power
Whale milk! Getter larger every day
Whale milk! Like the good book say

Kwatz

What gives the name to the endless one? KWATZ!
Who casts the blame on the stainless one? KWATZ!
The kwatz is the sound has a very nice ring. What?
The kwatz is the name of the song I sing.
The kwatz is the sound gather round gather round.
Once I was lost, now I'm found now I'm found.
Deep in the land of burden and doom
a one eyed monk sat and guarded a tomb
where lay buried all his desire
to be reborn and set the world on fire
you can ask him anything but he'll retort
the same reply, what a good sport
What gives the name to the endless one? KWATZ!
Who casts the blame on the stainless one? KWATZ!
The kwatz is the sound has a very nice ring. What?
The kwatz is the name of the song I sing.
The kwatz is the sound gather round gather round.
Once I was lost, now I'm found now I'm found.
Fragile folk, they come and go
like gods moods, they ebb and flow
creatures born upon the tide
love to live and live to die
look here comes a stranger fellow
tells you kwatz when you say hello
What gives the name to the endless one? KWATZ!
Who casts the blame on the stainless one? KWATZ!
The kwatz is the sound has a very nice ring. What?
The kwatz is the name of the song I sing.
The kwatz is the sound gather round gather round.
Once I was lost, now I'm found now I'm found.
Long before the world begun
a question formed and spun and spun
threatened to eat every last mind
to find an answer so divine
then at once the monosyllable
I'll answer kwatz, this service billable
What gives the name to the endless one? KWATZ!
Who casts the blame on the stainless one? KWATZ!
The kwatz is the sound has a very nice ring. What?
The kwatz is the name of the song I sing.
The kwatz is the sound gather round gather round.
Once I was lost, now I'm found now I'm found.
Deep in the land of burden and doom
that same damn monk guards the same damn tomb
where lay buried all his desire
to be reborn and set the world on fire
you can ask him anything but he'll retort
the same reply, what a good sport
Long after the worlds grim end
will the question live again my friend?
Can there be a question without an asker?
Can the void survive without kwatz to answer?
Then at once a light will shine.
Did you find an answer so divine?

We Are The Reptiles

We are the reptiles
we secretly rule the world
We are the reptiles
We'll probably steal your girl
You can run and tell them coppers
but that ain't a wise thing to do
cause they're reptiles too
Well cold blood flows through these veins
and warm blood probably went to your brain
if you think you can stop the reptiles
then you've probably gone insane
We know everything you think and do
We are the reptiles
we secretly rule the world
we are the reptiles
we'll probably steal your girl
you can run and tell your momma
but that ain't a wise thing to do
cause she's a reptile too
we saw what you did to the everglades
and we wanted to get revenge
we didn't do it with venom or blades
we do not break we bend
We are the reptiles
we secretly rule the world
we are the reptiles
we'll probably steal your girl
you can run and tell your momma
but that ain't a wise thing to do
cause she's a reptile too
well I shed my skin just bout a week ago
I eat live prey and I stay away from snow
at our secret meetings we talk bout things you'll never know
the whole worlds a reptile show
We are the reptiles
we secretly rule the world
we are the reptiles
we'll probably steal your girl
you can go and pray to jesus
but that ain't a wise thing to do
cause he's a reptile too
We are the reptiles
we secretly rule the world
we are the reptiles
we'll probably steal your girl
you can go hide in the arctic
but that ain't a wise thing to do
cause your a reptile too
